A Gator suprise, new foods and new friends!

Sebastian watching the snow come down...

We got a special package from Auntie/Godmother Tiffany the other day. The boys had a great time tearing everything open. Matteo particularly liked his brother's Gator toothbrush.

Sebastian reading his new Albert book and wearing his Florida hat. Coincidentally he was dressed in Gator colors that day too.

Matteo had to try the hat on too.


Sitting on Florida Field. I don't know where Aunti Tiff finds this stuff, but it's awesome! Thank you Auntie Tiff! Sebastian particularly liked setting up all the little Gator football player men on the field, but then his brother would just knock them down. So we'll have to play this during Matteo's nap times.

Once again this year Sebastian was very excited to get his Ashes at Ash Wednesday Mass.

Matteo playing with his new friends Adam and Zayd in the ball pool. It turns out that we live next door (!) to a young couple (yay, friends for us!) that recently moved here from Orlando (!) and have 14 month old twin boys that are perfect playmates for Matteo! It's been great since us Mamis are all here all day long we take turns going to each other's houses (right down the hall - no coats involved!) and the kids all have a great time. It's so nice to finally have a friend up here!

The other night we let Matteo try a french fry for the first time. I think he ate six. Oh boy.

My new neighbor friend Rema made us one of her traditional dishes, wheat and lentils with fried onions. It was delicious! I need to make her Puerto Rican lentils now. Matteo LOVED this dish....as you can see he even wanted to eat the dish!

He was covered head to toe and went straight to the bath.

Our local grocery store has Shuttle/Space Ship shopping carts! Sebastian loves this since one of his favorite bedtime stories is about going in a spaceship to touch the moon. (Yeah, thanks Obama for supporting the space program. Right. Way to keep the dream alive....)
